Dr. Peter Attia says it’s “almost criminal negligence” that most women don’t receive a DEXA scan until age 65. The test measures bone density, muscle mass, and body fat — key indicators of long-term health. His practice, which he calls “Medicine 3.0,” is driven by the patient and focused on prevention. “We're dying of heart disease, we're dying from stroke, cancer, dementia, Type 2 diabetes, and we I think have sort of come to realize that, ‘Hey, the playbook of Medicine 2.0, which is treat a disease when a disease is present,’ doesn't seem to work as well,” he says. “And so the first principle of Medicine 3.0 is you have to take a much longer arc on the prevention of chronic disease.” #attia #dexascan #longevity #outlive
